Chapter 2160 No One Knows Witches Better than Me
"Ms. Katerina, can you lend me your cane?" Joan made a sudden request.
"Huh? What do you want to do?" Katerina clenched her cane vigilantly.
"You did successfully release a witchcraft, but that's just the magic power stored in the staff, not your own power."
Joan simply spread the word out.
"It's like someone using a wand to cast spells. It doesn't prove that he is a mage. After all, a thief who knows a little bit of magic knowledge can also use a wand skillfully. If you can perform witchcraft without a cane, I admit that you are a real magician." Witch."
"Mr. Vader, please don't pretend to understand! There should be a limit to nonsense!" Katerina raised her voice angrily, "Witches and mages are not the same thing at all. You must use a witchcraft stick to perform witchcraft. , if you don’t understand, don’t make random analogies, go back and read more books!”
Joan just wanted to laugh.
This was the first time someone criticized him face-to-face for not reading too much, pretending to understand what he didn't know, it was really... a wonderful experience.
"Ms. Katerina, I'm not kidding, but one thing to say, the high-level remarks you made just now reveal that you have only a half-knowledge of witchcraft."
Joan's words were still polite. In fact, Katerina was talking nonsense, and it was difficult to pick out any mistakes from her opinions.
"In fact, witches can still perform witchcraft without the help of external objects."
"You...you are too much!" Katerina stared at her blue eyes, and the hand holding the stick couldn't help shaking, "You said I don't understand, do you understand? You are not a witch, how could you know more about witchcraft than me? !"
Joan was really happy now.
If you talk about this, then I will be excited and have to fight you to the end.
Touching the interlayer of the belt, Joan took out a micro-syringe that sealed Aunt Guslin's blood "awakening agent", shook it well, stuck it into the arm, and injected it intravenously.
Throwing away the empty shell of the needle tube, under Katerina's bewildered gaze, Joan transformed into the form of "Cinderella the Witch". Agitated, the female bear then fell to the ground, snoring deeply.
"Basic witchcraft, deep sleep." Joan said to Katerina lightly.
The male bear with a bruised nose and a swollen face was startled when his spouse fell down, and thought it was killed by Joan's spell. He turned his head and roared at her, desperate to avenge the female bear.
Without changing his face, Qiao An raised his hand and pointed at the male bear from afar.
The temperature in the air dropped sharply, and a large piece of frost condensed on the surface of the male bear at a speed visible to the naked eye. It accumulated thicker and thicker, and within a few seconds, it solidified into an ice coffin, sealing the male bear from head to toe, injecting extreme cold magic power, and freezing him completely. , to force hibernation.
"Powerful witchcraft, Ice Tomb, do you recognize it?" Joan looked at Katerina calmly.
"Uh... this... haha... hahaha..." The woman who called herself "Styx Witch" had cold sweat on her forehead, and she couldn't hide the guilt in her eyes, "I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I still have something urgent to deal with. , Excuse me!"
Before she finished speaking, Katerina lifted her cane and fled in embarrassment.
"Don't go yet! Speak clearly, who are you!"
Clark also realized at this time that he was almost deceived, so he chased after him angrily, trying to stop Katerina.
However, just as his finger touched the woman's sleeve, the woman exploded like a popped soap bubble, scaring the frost giant to retreat.
Fortunately, what exploded was just a phantom, and it didn't have any lethality.
After a false alarm, Clark found that Katerina disappeared out of thin air in front of his eyes, looking around in a daze, at a loss.
Joan frowned, raised his hand to touch his right eye, and activated the "true seeing" attached to the prosthetic eye. Looking around, he saw a looming figure in the opposite direction, which was the invisible body of Katerina , has flown over the glacier, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the night.
"Brother Qiao An, what happened just now, why did that female liar suddenly disappear?" the Frost Giant asked inexplicably.
Joan thought for a while, and replied: "What we saw just now was just a false double created by Katerina with the 6-ring 'Illusion Technique' to attract our attention. Her real body has been invisible. slipped away in one direction."
"Wow! This woman is really cunning!" Clark patted his forehead with lingering fear, "Thanks to you, brother, you are smart enough to see through her tricks and not be fooled! By the way, is that female liar far away? Shall we catch up? teach her a lesson?"
Qiao An shook her head, and replied with a dispirited voice: "Forget it, there is nothing to lose anyway, and there is no need to delay the trip because of a liar."
Seeing that he was about to step on the horse, Clark quickly raised his hand to stop him.
"Hey! Boy, don't be in such a hurry—bear! Don't forget those poor little bears!"
"Got it!" Qiao An nodded with a suppressed smile, turned around and walked up to the two white bears, and cast a spell to dispel the witchcraft.
The father-in-law and the white bear regained their freedom and woke up one after another. They looked at the young mage in horror, and then followed Katerina's example and decisively ran away!
...
With this little, innocuous interlude of travel over, Joan and Clark rode on.
Upstream along the banks of the Vymur River, and another three days of riding in the cloudy mountains, until October 8th, finally arrived at the first resting place since entering the Arctic Circle - Baixiong Village.
This small village is located on the banks of the Vimur River. There are more than two hundred families in total, and most of the residents are glacier dwarves.
The polar climate is extremely cold, and the frozen soil covered with ice and snow is not suitable for farming food crops. Most of the local residents make a living from fishing and hunting.
The area where Baixiong Village is located is close to a big river. Seals and polar bears can be seen everywhere on the riverside. The river is rich in a particularly cold-resistant blue sturgeon. Occasionally, there are small and medium-sized whales wandering in the river, providing local residents with rich sources of prey and meat.
In addition to the inexhaustible fish, the Vimur River also provides convenient shipping and trade for the residents of Baixiong Village. They can export the high-grade furs that are abundant in the area to the southern Jotunheim region, and at the same time, sell tobacco, medicinal materials and local scarce Industrial products are imported to the north.
About half of the houses in Baixiong Village are made of ice blocks, which are mainly used to store fuel, barreled spirits, frozen meat and other sundries. A stove was raised in the house, and it was warmed up.
Through the windows polished by the blue ice, the shaking fire in the house can be vaguely seen, and the laughter and laughter can be faintly heard. In this "polar night" season of snow and wind, it brings some warmth to travelers passing through this place.
